Reinscribing global hierarchies: COVID–19, racial capitalism and the liberal international order, 2023.07.03,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ia/iiad091 .
This article is concerned with why such a rupture did not occur and draws on theories of racial capitalism to answer this question. By drawing theories of racial capitalism into the IR literature on global health, the article points to the need for domestic and global health policy to address the deep-rooted racial inequities that characterized the COVID–19 pandemic ahead of future disease outbreaks.

Accumulation of immunity in heavy-tailed sexual contact networks shapes mpox outbreak sizes, 2023.07.04,
https://doi.org/10.1093/infdis/jiad254 .
Our mathematical model accounting for heavy-tailed sexual partnership distributions suggests that mpox epidemics can hit the infection-derived herd immunity threshold and begin to decline with less than 1% of sexually active MSM population infected regardless of interventions or behavioural changes. Consistently, we found that many countries and US states experienced an epidemic peak with cumulative cases of around 0.1–0.5% of MSM population.
